The items handed over to Northern Ireland politicians range in value from £5 to £1,000 and include food, alcohol, clothes, plus tickets to music and sports events

Ever wonder what freebies our Stormont ministers have been given down through the years?

Well, wonder no more.

More than a thousand gifts received by our politicians have been revealed for the first time by The Detail.

The items range in value from £5 to £1,000 and include food, alcohol, clothes, plus tickets to music and sports events.

While Westminster departments publish quarterly lists of ministerial gifts costing more than £140, there is no obligation for Stormont departments to do the same.

However, following a Freedom of Information (FOI) request by The Detail they have an extensive list of just some of the gifts presented to our politicians.

Martin McGuinness was given a wall plaque of Crumlin Road Gaol

Some of the gifts received over the last seven years include:

• Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness was given a “wall plaque of Crumlin Road Gaol” in 2012, while in July 2014 First Minister Peter Robinson was given a travelling prayer mat and a copy of the Koran. Hillary Clinton gave both leaders a gift from the New York-based Alicia Adams Alpaca clothing range.

• Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín was given a frequent flyer-complimentary car parking and executive lounge pass for Belfast International Airport in December 2011.
